Control panelsWith the two control panels, the operator does have every- thing at a glance. The first panel is for the manipulation of the printing machine and the second for the preparation of the printing jobs.

Feeding elevatorThe wider in feed elevatorwith high storage capacityand electrical liniar pusherensures controlled pressure of cups to feed screws.

Cup loadingCup feeding station with servodriven screws. For an easy access and a fast changeover the station can be open easily.

Final curingThe UV ink curing process isequipped with progressive power control. It was developed for quick lamp changes and ease of maintenance.

Cup take-off systemCup belt take-off system (Standard) or system with screws with mechanical read-outs for easy adjustment.

Surface pre-treatmentTo ensure reliable ink adhesion,this station is used to pre-treatthe surface of the cup withgas or a corona.

White pre-printFor transparent cups, a white base coat is indispensable. Adapted to the needs, this pre-print can be all over the cup or only there where it is nee- ded to highlight the process colors.

4-color process printing stationsTo make it fast, each of the CYMK color will be printed separately in one turn. The high precise positioning system ensures the perfect match forfantastic imaging of the cup.
